The lamp and the wick changebut the light's the sameSee the light within the flame

Some Hindus brought an elephant to exhibitThe kept it in a dark housePeople went in and outThey couldn't see anything,they felt with their hands

One person touched the trunk -"it's like a downspout"One, an ear, "more like a fan"One, the leg, "I find it roundand solid like the column on a temple"One touches the back - "an enormous throne"One says "straight", another "crooked"

If each had a candle and they went in togetherThe differences would disappear

The lamp and the wick changebut the light's the sameSee the light within the flame
